Well, I'm up fpr a sebadoh reunion. III is my favorite, at least in some regards, but the freed man and weed forestin are probably better albums--- i think once jason had to write half the songs and lou started sucking they're not really worth paying attention to (except for a few great songs amongst the suck). Eric's songs seemed to work better in a full band context (see weed forestin-all lou i'm pretty sure), but it seems like he's kind of hot headed about things, the liner notes of the IIIreissue have making a lot of claims like "my band" "my idea" :not my fault", and an interview i read went something like "what the fuck is wrong with you, i AM the psychedelic sound of sebadoh!", said to the interviewee... so I'm not sure what to expect- I have to wait til they hit louisville and hope he doesn't freak out and quit like he did when they toured for III.
But in any case, sebadoh are pretty much the reason why i bought a 4-track and even if they kidna suck a lot of the time, they give you fair warning, and when they're good- damn, they're good.
